AI SEO

AI SEO Services in Melbourne

AI SEO is the work of getting your business found, understood, and recommended by AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. I am an independent AI SEO consultant based in Melbourne, so you work directly with the person doing the work, not an agency account manager. It builds on solid SEO, and because it is still an emerging field, I will always be straight with you about what is proven and what is not.

Price From $1,500 + GST a month as part of an SEO Campaign, or in SEO Sprints from $2,000 + GST. See pricing

What AI SEO services include

  • AI visibility testing: checking how ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews describe and recommend your business today
  • Answer-first content: restructuring key pages so the clearest answer comes first, in a form AI tools can quote
  • FAQ content that answers the questions AI tools are most likely to surface about your services
  • Structured data: Organization, Service, FAQ, and related Schema.org markup that describes your business unambiguously
  • Entity clarity: stating your business name, services, and location consistently across your site and the web
  • Authority review: how your business is mentioned and referenced beyond your own website
  • Crawler and agent access: making sure AI crawlers and agents can reach and read your pages
  • Freshness: keeping the pages AI tools cite accurate and up to date

Content and structure AI tools can use

AI tools pull from content that is clear, well structured, and authoritative. If your service pages are vague, buried in PDFs, or missing key topics, AI tools will skip your business or misrepresent it. I rework how your content is written and organised: a clear heading hierarchy, plain definitions, concise answers near the top of each page, and FAQ content that covers the questions customers actually ask.

I also connect related pages with internal links so AI tools can follow the relationship between your services, and pair this with keyword research and content strategy so new content targets the right topics. The structured data side of this work ties into technical SEO.

Generative engine optimisation (GEO)

When someone asks ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or Copilot a question, the answer draws on a handful of sources, and some of them get cited. Generative engine optimisation (GEO) is the work of becoming one of those sources. No one can promise a specific placement, because these engines are opaque and change often, but the signals they tend to reward are clear: answer-first content, well-structured pages, original data and first-hand examples, authority across multiple sources, and freshness.

The term comes from research by a team including Princeton University and IIT Delhi researchers, published at KDD 2024, which found that adding citations, quotations from relevant sources, and statistics can significantly lift a page's visibility in AI-generated answers. I apply the same principles to your most important pages, then keep them current.

Agent experience (AX): getting ready for AI agents

AI agents, the assistants built into browsers, apps, and operating systems, are starting to browse, compare, and act on behalf of users. Agent experience (AX), a term popularised by Netlify, is the practice of making your site clear and usable to them, the same way good UX makes it usable to people. It is genuinely early, so I keep this practical: core content and navigation in server-rendered HTML rather than behind scripts an agent may not run, predictable structure, machine-readable data, and key actions like enquiries reachable without visual-only cues.

That work overlaps with technical SEO and accessibility, so it pays off today however quickly agents are adopted. This site is a working example: see how it is built to be read by AI.

AI SEO consultant or AI SEO agency?

If you are comparing AI SEO agencies, this is the difference with working with me. I am an independent consultant, not an agency, so there is no account manager between you and the work. You deal directly with the person auditing your site, rewriting your pages, and reporting on progress. Engagements are month to month with no lock-in contracts, and on an SEO Campaign you get a plain-English Loom walkthrough every month.

Before going independent, I spent nearly five years at a leading Australian SEO agency managing 30+ accounts, so I know how agencies work from the inside. Read more about my background.

Who AI SEO services are for

Businesses that want to show up when customers ask AI tools for recommendations, or that have noticed competitors being named in ChatGPT or Google AI Overviews while they are not. It suits businesses already investing in SEO and content that want that work to surface in AI answers too, and Australian businesses that would rather work directly with a consultant than an agency.

What you get

A prioritised AI SEO plan covering content, structure, schema, and authority signals, implemented where your platform allows, with monthly reporting on what changed. The aim is for AI tools to understand, reference, and recommend your business accurately.

My approach

A good first step is an AI search visibility audit, which tests how AI tools currently describe your business and why. That gives us a baseline and a prioritised list, so the work goes where it will matter most.

From there I work through the fixes: restructuring key pages answer-first, adding the structured data that describes your business, filling content gaps with FAQ and service content, and making sure AI crawlers can reach your site. Because AI SEO builds on traditional SEO, I check the technical foundations and on-page signals as part of the same work.

AI answers change often, so I re-test as the work progresses and report what moved in plain English. If you would rather start smaller, a free SEO audit and 45-minute call is a good first step, and pricing explains how campaigns and sprints work.

Frequently asked questions

What is AI SEO?+

AI SEO is optimising your website and online presence so AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews can find, understand, and recommend your business. It builds on traditional SEO, adding answer-first content, structured data, and the authority signals AI answer engines rely on.

Are you an AI SEO agency?+

No. I am an independent AI SEO consultant based in Melbourne. You work directly with me rather than an account manager, there are no lock-in contracts, and I work with businesses across Australia, remotely.

Can you guarantee my business will be recommended by ChatGPT or Google AI?+

No, and anyone who guarantees that is overselling. AI answer engines are opaque and change constantly. What I can do is align your content and signals with what these engines consistently reward, like answer-first structure, clear schema, original data, authority, and freshness, which improves your chances of being cited.

How is AI SEO different from SEO?+

SEO aims to rank your pages so people click through. AI SEO aims to get your business cited or recommended inside an AI-generated answer, often without a click. They share foundations like quality content, clear structure, and strong technical health, which is why good SEO is the best first step.

What is agent experience, and do I need it now?+

Agent experience (AX) is making your site usable by AI agents that browse and complete tasks for people. It is genuinely early. The practical work, like clean server-rendered HTML, clear structure, and accurate structured data, also improves SEO and accessibility today, so I treat it as part of AI SEO rather than a separate project.

How much do AI SEO services cost?+

AI SEO is delivered through an SEO Campaign, from $1,500 + GST a month with no lock-in, or as SEO Sprints from $2,000 + GST each. A good first step is an AI search visibility audit, which runs as a sprint, or a free SEO audit and 45-minute call.

Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?+

Yes. I am based in Melbourne and work with businesses across Australia, remotely. AI SEO is done online, so location is no barrier.
